I have a driving license and have driven a great deal when I've had no other option, and its a freaking miracle I am still alive... some people are just not geared towards driving, i.e. too nervous and/or distracted too easily or even an actual disability. I for once can only handle two lanes at...

Thanks for your response. It was my observation when traveling in the North of Ontario, I didn't see a single local bus except for Greyhound. As for downtown Toronto, how far out would be possible to live without a car? Downtown Toronto is pricey, might not be able to afford it. I heard about...

Hi there folks, I come from a part of Europe with very good public transportation. Owning a car is not common at all, besides, I myself can't drive. Now I am in the process of planning a move to the GTA, not sure where. I am worried though. How can I get around in the GTA and even outside...

She will apply for an eTA but cannot without a valid passport

My relative is visiting Canada as a tourist only and recently found out her passport is expiring, she is traveling to Canada in one week. Since it might be too late to apply for a normal passport at this point, will Canada accept an emergency passport? Many countries do, but certain do not, such...

Thank you for this link. I found this one: gunpolicy.org - possible to compare gun laws in countries throughout the world

All that matters is that you have the amount of savings available for when you commence your PR landing in Canada. Aka the link from from prpurohit

I agree with scylla. You need to properly live together in order to be viewed as "common-law". Cic will likely ask for proofs that you live together, such as joint rental agreement or mortgage

Happy to know! It's just that my previous experience my PR card did not arrive, I assume because of the mismatch in name. Given what a pain it has been to replace the PR card, I would prefer to be on the safe side. This particular address is an apartment complex and so I would think that they...

Thank you for sharing your personal experience on the matter. Funnily enough, I also spent extensive time in the U.S. and never had a problem and I also never heard of gun related crimes when I was there. I don't know if its true but the gun crime (as streamed in media) seems to have increased...

Can someone please advice me whether it's OK to tell immigration to mail out a PR card to a c/o name to a Canadian address? As it is a friend's address, mailing service might not recognise the name if there is not a c/o after the name of the PR card holder. Anyone??

Heres my own experience : signed up for a sin without a canadian address. No questions asked!

Police certificates expire, I believe they should be valid for 6 months. Thus, you need to time your police certificates with when you plan to submit your application to cic. What I would do is have all of the planning all ready for the police certificates that would be required (based on the...

I sent a webform and followed it up with a call. They had caught up on my right address. However I noticed that they sometimes seem to mix up mailing with residential address, so it's good to have that too confirmed

Ps the most important thing is that you pick which occupation/NOC code you would like to "migrate" on. You cannot change that NOC code later in the application as far as I'm concerned, even if it's a higher position or whatever. Just to clarify

In my experience they shouldn't really care about your specific occupation right now as long as you can prove that you have worked within that submitted occupation for the length of time that you have stated. For example, If you worked as an administrative assistant for 2 years and had that...

Guys, can you please clarify that I am getting this right: *If a PR card is still lost after 6 weeks of it being sent out, I need to sign a solemn declaration. After submitting the solemn declaration, a new PR card will automatically get sent out to the mailing address as long as I have sent in...

Glad to know! Good testimony

Yes, all of it is very helpful. Thank you!

Thank you, they are helpful. I know I could Google myself blue (and I have done), I just don't seem to get anywhere with factual information. I need primary sources, not subjective and not necessarily comparisons between the U.S and Toronto because I don't find the U.S particularly...
